Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Flowers

This one's a Montale but not as you know it. Crystal Flowers is either a gorgeous, fresh, delicate rose or a metallic headache in a bottle. Whatever your take, it's definitely a compliment magnet, but you might need to carry a decant.

Our Verdict - Frénésie

This one's a shapeshifter, mate. Some reckon it's a classy, clean floral, while others pick up on a divisive oud and incense combo that can be a bit much. Definitely try before you buy, especially if you're sensitive to strong notes.

Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its generally light and fresh floral nature, despite Montale's reputation, makes it suitable for office and casual wear. While some find it strong, many perceive it as subtle and a compliment-getter, boosting its versatility for various events, though perhaps less so for high-stakes formal settings due to its perceived gentleness.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

With its fresh, clean, and often 'unobtrusive' floral-musky profile, this scent is suitable for casual and everyday wear, including the office, though some find it quite strong. Its versatility and 'effortlessly seductive' quality also make it a fine choice for dates. The more intense and 'nuclear' oud versions would be less appropriate for formal or sport settings.
